I am using version 4.8 beta. I extract on my pc using the given password using 7zip then when attempting to install on my evo i get a trouble parsing package error and cannot install at all.

I am on cm7 and using the internal package installer.
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
I tried to activate it again and it suddenly turned on after a few clicks
[Android Apps and Games] compchick813:
I agree, this bugs me as well, although it seems to work sometimes. I have also found that while the keyboard will learn words after you type them a few times, it doesn't seem to learn words with numbers in them; for example, my username. It will instead learn the portion of the word before the numbers. I have also run into a few instances where when typing a common word that should have an apostrophe, the correct word with the apostrophe is not predicted.
[Android Apps and Games] tiktik627:
Theres some bugs in between words. Sometimes when i type something out it kinda erase the previous word i typed.. this is definitely the thing you guys should look at. and the symbols, i find that they are quite annoying..have to go back and forth to get what i want. Also, the symbols that are on the qwerty keyboard should make it regulalr like other keyboard.. i guess its the thing i gotta get used to it?
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
So getting the updates will be a matter of watching Twitter or FB? Really? I don't pay much attention to Twitter, my FB feed is cluttered, easy to miss one announcement (there's just so much out there to pay attention to) - why not put the update notices here on this thread, too? Also, are we going to have to wait for an individual message to get the update?
[Android Apps and Games] scoobysnacks:
love it so far...

a couple of issues I have had, words like "they're" never come out properly, it neglects the apostrophe.

"lol" 99% of the time comes out as "look".

Don't get me wrong though, it is fantastic. Best keyboard I've used yet
[Android Apps and Games] clown_luv:
works good for me love the features keep up the great work!!

havent used anyother keyboard since i got this

i dunno if this has been discussed before but is there any way to disable auto space after a punctuation like full stop or a question mark??? i like to spam these after a sentence like this!!!!!!!! but it auto space it after one punctuation..
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
I appreciate the personal touch, but I feel messages like this will only clutter the thread. We are here to help and I don't think any of us need individual public thanks for feedback we give on an app you were gracious enough to let us test.

Just my two cents.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
That'll a thanks button for a reason.

[Android Apps and Games] Taurus30:
Been using this app for a few days now, really like the layout and functionality. The speed is also a plus but it doesn't seem as accurate as Swype. With Swype I can be very fast and sloppy and most of the time it finds the right word. TouchPal also often chooses a word that is quite uncommon and therefore most probably not the one I was meaning. But I realize that this is a beta so I'm just saying.

Looking forward to the updates.

I agree. Although the personal touch is kind of lost when precisely the same thing is written to numerous people.
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
Well said!

TouchPal on Epic 4g

I noticed in the FAQ that it mentions non-working keyboard keys but I've found that with the Samsung Epic the Function key will not work if the "Physical Keys Prediction" is turned off. Turned on everything works great.

Fantastic keyboard. Keep up the good work!

What is the latest version? I am still running 4.7.6
[Android Apps and Games] Sian:
Hi

This thread is about the 4.7.8 Beta version which comes with Touchpal Curve technology (something like swype).. There's another thread for you to request for the beta version to try it out.
[Android Apps and Games] Taurus30:
I have a screen lock password and one thing I've noticed is when I swipe my password it comes up in the list of word suggestions. It would be a good idea for this to be disabled when entering passwords like this.
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
I was post #2 on this thread and the first apk they sent was 4.7.6. That version has curve technology. Now that I know there is a newer release my next question is how to get it. I already signed up for beta testing which is how I got the apk in the first place.

This developer is really going about this beta testing phase backwards. There should be a formalized process and if they want a closed beta test, they should have secure sign-ons. It makes it very hard to test an app.
[Android Apps and Games] thronnos:
How do you install it? I have the zip, but it keeps telling me unable to parse... I've used every file manager around. Help?

Sent from my HTC EVO shift 4G running the latest and greatest cyanogen using the XDA premium app
[Android Apps and Games] Taurus30:
Use Dual File Manager XT. It's free in Market.
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
It's a password protected zip. Download it on your PC and then extract it. The apk can then be side-loaded.
[Android Apps and Games] Taurus30:
There's no need to download it to a PC first. Dual File Manager works just as well, even though the zip is password protected.
[Android Apps and Games] seboj:
I'm really liking this after a few days of use.

Pros:

Great tap accuracy

Fast

Ashtetically pleasing

The different functionality buttons for smilies, web stuff, etc., are really nice

The hide button in the top right is better, imo, than other methods of hiding

The text manipulation button (cut, copy, paste) is AWESOME

Love the button to turn prediction on and off

Cons:

The predictions should bring up more common words first

Doubletapping on a word doesn't bring the predictive box back

The curve predictions can bring up some funky results
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
I'm not saying there is a need. It is just the easier way.
[Android Apps and Games] Taurus30:
Ok, I misunderstood you on that point, but I'm not too sure about it being any easier. As I see it there's one less step if done from your device since there is no need to transfer the apk after unzipping.
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
In the simplest of terms, it's another app you need to install.

I agree the difference is small, but in terms of ease, I feel it is easier this way. Plus, I have been burned too many times by invalid md5 check sums downloading items via the tablet. I don't know it if it a weird tcp/ip protocol or ping time, but the tablet drops the ball occasionally.
[Android Apps and Games] thekayman:
Just got the beta and so far its fantastic, I love the prediction ability and it seems very quick.

the slide up to caps doesnt work if you have curve enabled which I guess makes sense as it trys to swype a word, is there a easier way to capitalise words?

also is there a way to disable auto space? i.e. if you are typing in a email address as soon as you put a . it automatically spaces even with curve auto space off.

also I noticed when I was using the app then launched the tutorial and then went back to the app it automatically disabled curve by itself.

this app looks promising with its prediction and swype capabilities I would buy straight away if its priced right. thanks for the app!

Edit: whast the latest ver? I just got mine today and it says 4.7.6 but the thread mentions a 4.7.8?
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
OK... a bit of confusion here.

According to Settings-Applications-Manage Apps TouchPal Keyboard is version 4.7.6

According to the TouchPal Keyboard app, this is v4.8.16391_OEMGlobal

Probably just a programming over-site as it is Beta, but there needs to be an update soon.
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
I've got 4.8.16391 with a build date of 2011-07-27.
[Android Apps and Games] Kurupt1:
I find the swipe function on this beta are inaccurate often. Also the many menus to go back and forth is a little too much IMO.
[Android Apps and Games] killa_byte:
still waiting for TouchPal to email me the app :( cant wait!!
[Android Apps and Games] thekayman:
Ahhh I just checked about inside the keyboard app and it shows v4.8.1391_OEMGlobal build date 2011-07-27

So im getting the same as you, looks like its not reporting right in manage apps.
[Android Apps and Games] TouchPal:
Dear thekayman ,

Thank you for your participation in TouchPal's beta testing and your sincere support and help for the stability and improvement of TouchPal's new version!

You can click the shift button to capitalise words.

We will disable the auto space when adding punctuations in next version.

Did you disable curve when you launched the tutorial accidentlly?

Hope that TouchPal brings you really joyful input experience! Thank you again!

Best regards,

TouchPal
[Android Apps and Games] thekayman:
Hi Touchpal, is there a way to capitalise words after they have been typed or swiped when in curve mode or on the fly so the user can keep swiping instead of going to shift i.e. how with swype you swipe above the keyboard and then continue on or after the word is typed you can tap on it to hilight and then swype from shift to settings and it gives options of capitalise first letter or full word etc.

I had Curve enabled and was using it and went back to the tutorial to check how to use the swipe up for capital and when I went back to my text it was disabled I had to go back into settings and enable it.

so far after a day of use I am liking the app, sometimes it isnt as accurate but I guess it will get better as it learns my words and style?

Thanks again

K
[Android Apps and Games] hachoo:
having same issues as above. it could be cos i'm used to swype though

just wondering how i can manually add words to the dictionary and how to improve the accuracy. It's not quite on par with what i've used in the past but this is much smooother. kudos
[Android Apps and Games] TouchPal:
Dear thekayman ,

You can click the shift button once to capitalise the first letter of words, or you can click twice to lock the shift button to capitalise full word. When curve is closed, you can also swipe above the keyboard to get capital letters.

I have delivered your problems to our developers.

Hope that TouchPal brings you really joyful input experience! Thank you again!

[Android Apps and Games] thekayman:
When you say curve is closed I guess you mean off? Yeah I use the shift button before swiping but wondered if there was a easier way to capitalise with curve enabled, looking forward to the Beta2 will we be automatically PM'd it or do we have to request it?
[Android Apps and Games] PUNiZZLE:
I've been using the keyboard for a little while and here's what I'd like improved off the top of my head:

Automatically turn off prediction when entering Usernames

When prediction is off, allow the bar above the keyboard to be hidden

Improve keypress popup. The stock keyboard popup effect is much more useful.

When you have a long sentence (using the speak to text), you can't read the other predictive results if it is longer that 4 or 5 words
[Android Apps and Games] thekayman:
is beta v2 out yet?
[Android Apps and Games] Sixmsj:
Typing this with TouchPal right now. Pretty good keyboard.

Thoughts

1 enlarged keyboard : makes swping or touch typing really easy.

2 really like the button for different commands

3 like the button to disable autocorrect

4 asthetically pleasing

5 keys like the language button needs to have an option to turn off

6 couldn't completely remove the top bar, would like an option for that too.

7 i encountered a glitch with phone mypc. when trying to type with it, it'll glitch up and do multiple letters. i tested again with gb keyboard and it worked fine.

8 i think the bottom row should be shrinked a little in favor of even bigger keys

These are just my first impressions and i can see this being my main keyboard for a long tile time to come.

I would like to apply for beta testing

Apply for beta testing if still available.

[Android Apps and Games] tristan202:
Been running the first beta for a while now, and liking it. Is beta2 released yet, and at what point will there be added additional languages?
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
TocuhPal

I have stopped TouchPal testing for the following reasons:

1.) Poor recognition for small words using Curve

2.) Not able to add words to dictionary

3.) Constantly tries to put irrelevant words in place of common words (example: typing "Kris" ends up being "Leisure")

4.) Does not capitalize the first letter

5.) When you select the shift key, it will capitalize the first letter of the first and second word

6.) The review window before you submit a word is too small and cumbersome to navigate. I would like it more like Nuance's T9 where is submits it to the text box with an underline for review

7.) Punctuation is very inefficient when using Curve

8.) Switching from text to numeric and back is not intuitive nor is it easy

Thank you for the opportunity, but you need to release an update or I will assume our objective feedback is going unheard.
[Android Apps and Games] AlexNC75:
Suggestions:

1) please add prediction when typing in the Android Market

2) apostrophes do not work to well in this keyboard

3) need editable dictionary

Great keyboard! keep up the good work. I have always loved Swiftkey, but this does a much better job predicting my words ... so it seems.
[Android Apps and Games] Bull_Moose:
Just installed and am using it now. So far it is fast and very responsive, but there are a couple things I have noticed right off the bat:

-I can't add words to the dictionary

-Sliding down to select a number is very hit or miss

-Some small and more widely used words often do not come up as the first prediction

I will respond in better detail in a day or two. Haven't messed with touch yet, just curve. Overall, it's a promising start.

I hate Twitter just about as much as anyone else, but a majority of companies/devs use Twitter for things such as this. Get used to it because it's going to be that way for a hwhile...that's right, I said a hwhile. :D
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Yup, we're stuck with it - but Touchpal isn't tweeting much at all. They're not saying much on Facebook either. So, I'm following them all over the place but they're not telling us anything, or responding to anything - I have the beta, but I'm unhappy with many of the same issues others have mentioned, TEK112 summed most of them up nicely:

Number 3 is the most frustrating to me, followed by the capitalization issues. Touchpal tries to be too smart for its own good.
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
Say Cool Whip...
[Android Apps and Games] webmastir:
cooo...hwhip

hahha!... wasn't sure if anyone would get that reference or not
[Android Apps and Games] Navyet3:
I think the keyboard is pretty good. I don't have the same issues others have. I guess I just figured out a way to get around stuff and it works for me. Either that, or I just figured it was a Beta and knew there would be a lot of little issues.

For me the keyboard is great and shows great promise. I do have several comments and suggestions.

1) I like the send button at the bottom. Don't change that. It works great when you are having to sign into a site.

2) I can't get the keyboard to go into landscape mode. On my EVO I use landscape a lot and it is very frustrating to have to keep tilting the phone up so I can type what I need to.

3) Sometimes it just screws up what you are typing. Don't know if it is a glitch or not. Hopefully the Beta 2 will have that corrected. I will type "there" and it comes up with "thee" and doesn't even give me an option for "there" I then have to re-swype it to get what I want.

4) I also have a Samsung Epic 4G and have had some issues installing it. I keep getting a message that says this keyboard isn't supported.....That sucks!

As I stated, I like the keyboard and hope there are some great improvements in the 2nd Beta. I truly hope that TouchPal does listen to what is said and then makes an even better keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] tdusen:
Installed and uninstalled. There's no reason a keyboard should need internet access. I don't need it to automatically check for updates, or anything else.

Remove that permission and I'll try it again.
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
You ate hair!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Bull_Moose:
Well, a couple days into it and I have to say I agree with every issue TEK112 addressed. I'm still using it for now, but if I can get Swype to work (it says the beta has expired even though the Swype installer is downloadling the most updated version) I will go back to it. I don't know if that is a problem with the latest MIUI ROM or if I'm not recognized as a Swype beta tester now...
[Android Apps and Games] LfcFan1977:
I don't really have anything to compair Touchpal with. The only another swipe keyboard I've tried (for a day or two) was slower than touch typing but this is quicker.

Same/similar issues as others. See TEK112's list.

Not sure what beta version is available but I would like to see the "send" button moved to the right edge, allowing more of a gap between it and the screen.

Installing it was as easy as any other apk but after every reboot, it would uninstall. Copied the apk to /system/app directory, installed, and while it was continuesly force closing, installed it again from sdcard. It now appears to have stuck. Never had to do this with other keyboards, applications or widgets on this Data++ rom.

Not sure why Touchpal would prefer Twitter over dedicated phone forums such as xda

developers

. At least here, you are getting good feedback. When I looked up Touchpal on Twitter, I could not see any feedback, just random posts, pointless retweets, requests for beta testing and re-requists for beta testing.

If you are going to upload updated beta versions there only, how would I find it? or any tweets from Touchpal representatives?
[Android Apps and Games] reaper420:
my only problem is it keeps putting the wrong in then i have to go back and correct them, witch makes it take longer type anything
